We are currently in a precarious position due to the epidemic created by CoVID-19. This new type of coronavirus is causing worldwide violence, although there are countries that are using technology to try to control the spread of the problem.
Among the most successful are South Korea and China, which have developed mobile applications for users to provide details on their features.
It's the same thing that Andalusia has created within its Salud Reponde application, but in a Web way (though it will come to Apple and Google application stores in a few days).
This is a webapp to get a coronavirus
The first thing we notice when we go to the web is a notification that invites us to do the process only when we have the logo. This is quite common as the idea of diversifying emergency telephone numbers has emerged these days.
Also, this version developed for the Madrid Community only, and a variety of other communities will be arriving soon.
We do not know the exact reason for this, but as in Spain health care transfers to Autonomous Communities, something similar was expected. Also, since each has its own emergency equipment and its own warning phones, applications cannot, in a sense, function in the same way.
Go to the Madrid Community Coronavirus web app
What is this app?
This web application has a number of functions, designed for the sick. This is important to note because when it does break down we will also have problems interacting with doctors and nurses. Through it we can:
- Rate your health status depending on your symptoms.
- Get instructions and recommendations based on your health status.
- Examine yourself every 12h and keep your health status updated.
- Help all of you professionals working for your safety and well-being.
This is likely due to the technology behind the development of the app, provided by the company CARTO.
Do not install websites or use unusual apps
We want to take this opportunity to remind you that you should not install anonymous resources or websites that promise to calculate coronavirus cases locally in real time. Several look for financial gain using malware.
